I don't remember the show claiming to be an exhaustive compendium of
"Great Sandwiches of the World". It was titled, "Sandwiches That You
Will Love to Eat", and they got the title from the theme of one of the
restaurants they reported on. The show you're critiquing is yet to be
made, to the best of my knowledge. Would love to see it, but would be
surprised if it was a well made as this one, for the reasons I
mentioned above in my earlier message in this thread. I think it's
always easy to critique the show they should've/could've/would've made.
I think the one they made was pure fun, just as it was intended! Next
thing you know, you'll be complaining that the special effects weren't
up to snuff!
